MySpace and MTV Announce Details of First Presidential Candidate Dialogue With John Edwards

LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK, Sept. 19 -- MySpace, the
country's most trafficked website, and MTV, the leading global youth brand,
today announced details of their first Presidential Candidate Dialogue --
featuring former Senator John Edwards (http://www.myspace.com/johnedwards).
The inaugural event will take place on Thursday, September 27, at 12:00 pm
ET on the University of New Hampshire campus -- an affiliate in mtvU's
network of more than 750 colleges and universities -- and will be moderated
by MTV News Correspondents Gideon Yago and SuChin Pak as well as
WashingtonPost.com political reporter, Chris Cillizza. Industry-leading
pollsters John McLaughlin and Geoffrey Garin will oversee the real-time
polling data and audience questions being submitted via MySpaceIM and
MTV.com. The kick-off event also marks the first application integration of
the Flektor instant polling tool since its acquisition by Fox Interactive
Media in May 2007.

"We're providing America's youth with unprecedented access to the top
presidential candidates by empowering them to ask live questions and
respond with real time polling tools," said co-founder and CEO of MySpace,
Chris DeWolfe. "The integration of Flektor will add a new dimension of
rapid response and at-home engagement -- we can't wait to see it all happen
live and unfiltered."

"For the past 15 years, MTV and Choose or Lose has been the place where
young people have gone to ask questions of the candidates and let their
voices be heard," said Christina Norman, President of MTV. "Through this
exciting partnership with MySpace, we are taking the concept of engagement
to a new level, allowing every single young person to participate in the
Dialogues."

For the first time, users at home or anywhere online are empowered to
immediately respond to candidate discourse with a new online polling widget
powered by Flektor. Online viewers on MySpace.com or MTV.com will be able
to access a simple ratings meter to indicate their approval or disapproval
of a candidate's responses as they watch the Dialogue live with instant
results displayed on the screen. A "popular vote" function will allow
viewers to compare their opinions against those of the entire viewing
community. Poll results will be available online live during each event and
archived for future viewing.

Options for approval ratings include:

-- I agree

-- Well argued

-- Sincere/ authentic

-- All of the above

Options for disapproval ratings include:

-- I disagree

-- Full of bull

-- Scripted/ canned

-- All of the above

The MySpace/MTV Presidential Candidate Dialogues also mark the first
time in history where at home viewers will be able to submit questions in
real-time to the candidates. As the world's fastest growing instant
messaging client, MySpaceIM will provide the platform for users to submit
questions throughout the duration of the event on both MTV.com and MySpace.
Additionally, questions will also be asked by a live audience comprised of
UNH students.

The MySpace and MTV communities will have a variety of chances to
attend the Presidential Candidate Dialogues. Members on MySpace who
'friend' their official profile OR members of MTV.com who 'support' the
Presidential Candidate Dialogues, will have the chance to attend by being
one of the first to show up for the event with a print out of their
respective profiles. Select MTV.com and MySpace users who submit the most
compelling online videos on how they're addressing election issues that
impact their community may also have their video integrated into related
programming.

The interactive Presidential Candidate Dialogue events, each an hour in
length, feature one leading Presidential candidate and America's youth in
one-on-one candid discussions about the concerns of the nation leading up
to the 2008 election. Held on college campuses nationwide, the Presidential
Candidate Dialogues will include all the major Republican and Democratic
Presidential candidates. The September 27 kick-off event will be webcast
live on both MySpaceTV (http://myspacetv.com) and MTV.com, with an event
broadcast later in the day on MTV and mtvU, MTV's 24-hour college network.

The University of New Hampshire, the flagship public university in the
first-in-the-nation primary state, was founded in 1866 and has a statewide
enrollment of over 13,000 students with more than 116,000 alumni around the
world.
